Love in the stars – the true story of a kindergarten teacher

Have you ever heard of "Children of the Stars"? There is such a group of children, who are like the lonely twinkling stars in the night sky, who are not curious about the outside world and do not want to speak. They are as pure as the stars, they are as sparkling as the stars, and they are the children of the stars. In our sophomore class, there is also such a unique "star", his name is Xiao Xie. Today, let's talk about his story

I remember that when Xiao Xie first entered the kindergarten, he would run around the table in the class every day and cry no matter how the teacher comforted him, it would not help; he would not take the initiative to communicate with the children and the teacher, no matter who talked to him, he always kept his head down and never communicated with each other; he never went to any play area activities, or even watched, only indulged in his own world; when he was in class, he would get up and walk back and forth, and inadvertently he would issue a scream of "Whoosh-", completely ignoring the teachers and other children present Occasionally, a person would sit in a chair in a daze, and then suddenly laugh incessantly, as if recalling the happy things of the past... In the daily study and life of the kindergarten, Xiao Xie needs the guidance and help of the teacher, and even the most basic life skills such as eating and drinking water need the care of the teacher. However, it is such a different "little star", does not have innate social skills, does not use expressions or body language to express their emotions or feelings, often shows that it is different from other children, and even requires us to spend more time and energy than other children, but we can't help but always want to give him more love.

Star Story: Warmly touched with affection

For a two-year-old, drinking yogurt with a straw is a simple thing, but it is extremely difficult for Xiao Xie at the beginning of the semester. Every time he added food and drank yogurt, as long as Teacher Tong did not help Xiao Xie tear off the yogurt packaging skin, he was unwilling to drink yogurt. Every time he was taught, he couldn't suck out the yogurt, and even once when he was teaching him to drink yogurt with a straw, Xiao Xie was angry and anxious to escape, and bit down Teacher Tong's arm. At this moment, Teacher Tong covered the wound with both hands without a trace of blame and anger, seeing Teacher Tong's pain, I seriously criticized Xiao Xie, but I did not expect that he "wow" threw himself into my arms and cried At that moment, my heart softened.

Such a simple thing for other children is so difficult for Xiao Xie. Looking at Xiao Xie in front of me, I thought of the attitude I had just treated him, and there were ten thousand self-reproaches in my heart. At that moment, Teacher Tong and I decided to help this child learn to use straws. Through repeated observations, it was found that the reason why Xiao Xie would not use the straw was that his mouth would not wrap the straw tightly at all, so that every time he drank yogurt, even if he sucked hard, he could not suck it. After finding the cause of the problem, Teacher Tong and I used our free time to exercise Xiao Xie's ability to suck and wrap by playing the game of "small mouth grasping straw". Kung Fu pays off, and under our guidance and encouragement day by day, again and again, xiao Xie learned to drink yogurt with a straw after three weeks. At that time, Teacher Tong and I were not only full of "sense of accomplishment" in our hearts, but also sincerely happy and happy for Xiao Xie!

As teachers, we feel that Xiao Xie is like a small snail, slowly climbing towards his goal and finish line step by step. Every time we see Xiao Xie making a little progress, we will be happy for him in our hearts. Being able to help a child acquire certain life skills and help him improve is also our greatest pride, which is perhaps the charm of being a kindergarten teacher!

Star Story: Ignite hope with love

When he entered the kindergarten, Xiao Xie had a strong interest in music. Whenever the regional game ended, he would stand early next to the tape recorder or sit in a chair next to the tape recorder, quietly listening to the music of the end of the game, and whenever the third piece of music was played, he always used to turn off the recording. Later, through long-term observation, we learned that it was because he did not like to hear this song. However, as long as it is his favorite music, he can remember the name of the song and smile happily when he hears it.

Xiao Xie also has a small habit is that he always likes to touch the piano keys with his small hands, and after the class leader Teacher Feng carefully found that he liked to play the piano, he took him by hand and sang "Two Tigers" while playing. Unexpectedly, after only playing it twice, Xiao Xie could play it alone. Seeing that Xiao Xie likes to play the piano, Teacher Feng does not hesitate to use his class preparation time to teach Xiao Xie to play the piano. Through a period of study and practice, Xiao Xie can not only play children's songs but also learn to play a variety of up-and-down playing. Every day, when the area is played, the class will hear a beautiful piano sound, and the children in the class will always run to Xiao Xie's side and sing with him. This "little star" who does not take the initiative to communicate with children has slowly become the "little pianist" in everyone's mouth.

Seeing the child's interest and love for music, Teacher Feng took the initiative to communicate with Xiao Xie's father and sent the video of Xiao Xie playing the piano to the parents. Xiao Xie's father was very surprised to see the video and bought an electric piano for Xiao Xie at home for practice. Teacher Feng also suggested that Xiao Xie's father can seize the child's interest and talent, and carry out targeted cultivation through more professional music learning so that Xiao Xie can make greater progress. Although xiao xie xueqin has not been implemented so far, the time when Xiao Xie was interested in music and accompanied him to learn to play the piano and play the melodious piano has always been engraved in the hearts of each of us.

Star Story: Communicate and get along with your heart

I remember that at the end of the semester, Xiao Xie did not take a nap at noon every day, but it was more difficult to get up in the afternoon. No matter how the teacher tried to guide him, he lay motionless on the bed with his eyes open. That day, as usual, I went to Xiao Xie's bedside to wake him up, and he saw me hugging me and saying, "Teacher Zhang, Daddy won't answer, I want to sleep in kindergarten!" "Why did Xiao Xie, who usually didn't take the initiative to communicate with the teacher, suddenly talk to me about this today?" I squatted down and gently patted him on the back and said, "Dad told the teacher to pick you up at three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Xie quickly got up, and in a moment Dad will come to pick you up!" He heard it and said to me anxiously, "Daddy won't pick up, I'm in kindergarten!" He kept shouting and spoke with anxiety. In the next few days, xiao Xie arrived at the time of getting up, and when he saw me, he said this sentence, and it seemed to be with a pleading tone, which made me wonder and feel pain.

After work that day, I communicated with Xiao Xie's mother on WeChat with the questions in my heart, and only then did I learn that Xiao Xie's father would take him to the institution every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to do various physical training. The amount of activities in each training session is particularly large, which is very tiring and boring for Xiao Xie, causing him to resist the daily physical training sessions. Mom said that the training in front of her is very beneficial to promote the development and change of Xiao Xie's intelligence, language ability and attention. Every time she saw her father angry and anxious because Xiao Xie refused to exercise, her mother would always be very distressed, and every night after Xiao Xie fell asleep, she always cried silently. But in order for Xiao Xie to grow up to be as healthy and normal as other children, his mother has constantly encouraged him to persevere.

Knowing these experiences of Xiao Xie, I remembered once hearing the children in the class say to me: "Teacher Zhang, I told you that Xiao Xie's father would run with Xiao Xie every morning. After school, Xiao Xie will be encouraged to jump 500-1000 ropes at the kindergarten door, and if Xiao Xie does not jump, he will be punished. "At that moment, I not only felt sorry for xiao Xie in front of me, but also deeply understood the difficulty and heartache of parenthood. As a parent, when you see that your child is different from other children or has weak abilities, your heart will also be anxious, you will be depressed, you will be imitative, and you will be more painful. Even if children only improve a little, even if they only have a little hope, they will go all out to work hard, to fight, to pay.

Since then, every time I have been outdoors, I will actively encourage Xiao Xie to demonstrate his jump rope skills in front of the children, hoping to increase his self-confidence through the encouragement, praise and support of teachers and peers, so that he can happily integrate into the group, so that he likes the class group more and loves sports. Through repeated daily practice, Xiao Xie's sports skills have also been subtly improved and improved. My teacher-student relationship with Xiao Xie has also slowly narrowed in each interaction. Now he especially likes to throw himself into my arms, like a spoiled child, let me hug him and talk to him.

Xiao Xie is like the star that shimmers most far away from us in the vast night sky, and is not willing to take the initiative to communicate and communicate, but we are willing to use our hard work and sweat to create a starry sky for Xiao Xie exclusive to him. Just like our school's charismatic educational philosophy: "Construct a pond to serve the natural growth of children." "Let him feel the warmth of growth and the joy of progress in the starry sky of love."

Today, Xiao Xie has changed a lot: he has begun not to refuse to participate in class activities, such as in mathematical activities, we will sit next to him and hold his hands, step by step with him. Maybe he doesn't understand the meaning of the operation at all, but he can sit down and complete the operation, at least for 5 minutes with the help of the teacher. During the reading session, he can also sit next to the teacher and read the book page by page in the companionship of the teacher. Back at home, Xiao Xie was able to tell his parents what was in the book and occasionally pop up a sentence or two, which was a super happy thing for his parents. Xiao Xie's mood is much more stable than before, although he still does not take the initiative to interact with children, but he has won the love of the children in the class. Every time I would hear the children in the class say, "Teacher Zhang, Xiao Xie shuiyuan forgot in the playground, I went back to help him take it." "Teacher, I have a group of games with Xiao Xie..." Although Xiao Xie's progress is so insignificant to others, there is everyone's efforts, expectations and love in these insignificant advances.
